Monterry Pictures Joins the Mexican-American Film Revolution

“MONTERREY PICTURES founder, David Mendez, has inked a six-figure deal with writer Nat Christian to write the screenplay for the producer’s first feature film, 700 Hill. Mr. Christian, who will also co-produce, recently wrote, acted in and directed the independent feature, Channels which was just completed earlier this year. “Mr. Christian’s passion for 700 Hill has resulted into an extraordinary telling of the narrative, which is inspired by a true story” says Mr. Mendez, who recently turned his sights to Hollywood after an exceptionally successful career in technology, including the sale of a company he co-founded, Supplybase.inc, to i2 Technologies for $380.

700 Hill is a “cross-over” story that will appeal to mainstream audiences. “We’re achieving our goal by revealing a classic story of survival in the context of true chapters in the Mexican-American experience”. Aware of the rising recognition of Latino content and talent in Hollywood, Mr. Mendez proclaims to be “proud to be part of this modern day Mexican Revolution … a revolution in film””
